Leave Right Now
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Song by Will Young
I'm here just like I said
Though it's breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart
Is just the same
Keeley had asked him here, they were best friends but something was different, she sounded different on the phone, she sounded upset. He stood there silently on the porch waiting to be let in, he shuffled his feet nervously awaiting her to come to the door
She opened the door, she was in her dressing gown, she looked upset, she wanted to tell him something, he had no idea what though
Why make it strong to break it once again
And I'd love to say I do give everything to you
But I can never now be true
She took him into the sitting room, sat down on the couch and uttered two simple words, although those two words were enough to break his heart, he tried not to show it, he knew Keeley hated it when he cried
So I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leaver right now
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me out
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
She let him out, not saying anything to each other, both of them too upset to say much at all , he went home to his room and cried it out until he couldn't cry much more. He didn't eat over the next couple of days, the last two words Keeley had told him kept spinning around in his head so much so that it made him feel sick
I'm here so
Please explain
Why you're opening up but healing wound again
I'm a little more careful perhaps it shows
If I lose the highs
Please stop spreadin the lows
He knew he would have to go out again sometime, he couldn't keep pretending he was sick, he needed to face the world and Keeley sometime, he just wasn't ready to do it though , he knew being a recluse would have more benefits, he wouldn't have to see Keeley leave again and break his heart. He took out his picture album and began looking through the photo's of Keeley and him, letting more tears fall down his face, if there was anymore. One in particular really upset him, it was of him and Keeley in an amusement park of the future they were doing the defy gravity game, which was pretty self explanatory. Keeley and him were holding hands and laughing their heads off.
I would tremble in your arms
What could be the harm
He flicked to the last page of the photo album, looking for the photo which he took when he first met Keeley, she looked afraid as he pointed the wizard directly in her face to prove he was from the future, he wouldn't be able to have anybody to share that with now, he would just be able to share it with is family and let's face it Pim and mom and dad (don't know the names) weren't exactly teenagers, well Pim was but she was barely human so that was out of the question
To feel my spirit come
So I say
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me out
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
He snapped the book shut, knowing he had to tell Keeley before it was too late, she would be gone in 24 hours, so there was no time to waste
Although he felt like crap he knew it was the right thing to call Keeley so they could have one last phone call before she left
He dialled her number, she answered but he hung up, not knowing how to put a sentence of English together
He climbed into bed not wanting anybody to see him
When he woke the next morning, the only reason he got up was to see Keeley off, then he would climb back into bed
I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say you're right on track
He went out to the garden to watch Keeley put her last few belongings in the car. He almost choked holding back the tears, but he knew that he had to make the most of his time together with Keeley, so he plastered a fake smile on and went over to her.
You may never know why
Once hidden
Twice is shy
If I'm proud perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bare to lose you again
She looked upset, her eyes were glistning with tears she was trying to keep back, her eyes were red and puffy from the tears she had already cried although she had a fake smile on her face, Phil looked pretty much the same but he knew he shouldn't mention crying to her
All they did as Keeley's parents said goodbye to Phil's was hug, there was nothing more they could do
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me out
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Yes I will
As her parents pulled her away from Phil he gave her a letter, telling her to open it in the car, she didn't understand why he gave her this he just did
She nodded agreeing to what he was saying and got in the car to go
As soon as she got into the car she unfolded the piece of crumpled paper
Dear Keeley
Since you are moving to Spain and I probably will never see you again
I thought I would write you this letter so I can tell you how I feel, without
Embarrassment or my cheeks turning red . I have known you since I landed here
From 2121 , you were the only one who believed me, the only one I could trust
With everything, but now you're gone and will probably move on with your life
And I will never get to do those things I have always dreamed of doing but
Was always too scared , right now more than anything.
I will miss laughing with you, talking with you and looking at you, and if you
Were here now I would tell you that, and I would never let you go.
There is one thing that we never got to do together, that I wish someday if we
Meet again we can do. XXX Phil
Keeley knew what Phil wanted to happen , but they were already halfway to the airport and her parents wouldn't turn the car around for her. Unless they already knew and were doing just that
Meanwhile
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me out
Before I fall any deeper
Phil stood there where he had hugged Keeley for the last time staring aimlessly down the road knowing that Keeley wasn't going to come back
Mr and Mrs Teslow knew that Keeley didn't get the goodbye she wanted from Phil, they left early so they wouldn't be on the flight for another few hours so they knew they had to give their daughter the goodbye that the two of them wanted
They pulled up in their old driveway letting Keeley run over to Phil, there was no words between them when their lips joined for the first and last time
I think I better leave right now
